Original Message
THE GEMINID METEOR SHOWER IS UNDERWAY: International observers are counting as many as 50 meteors per hour as Earth plunges into a stream of debris from rock comet 3200 Phaethon. Rates could double, or more, when the shower peaks on Dec. 13th and 14th. The best time to look is during the dark hours before dawn on Thursday and Friday

Put on some layers to keep warm
Make some Cocoa, Make some Coffee... drink some whiskey... whatever you want to stay warm...
But go out tonight (or right now if its dark out) and witness a spectacle!
The Peak of this shower is tonight!!
And its gonna be a show!!
Last night was pretty impressive!
I'm excited to see what tonight brings! Should be way better!
Look North to East... You should see em whiz through the sky
Anytime after dark... as the night drags on... they should increase.
Leave the dumb phone, the TV the computer and watch the fireballs stream across the sky...
Make some wishes while you are at it...
I know I got half a dozen i'm gonna mumble tonight!
Happy Geminid's Everyone!
